Determining Career Objective(s) and Developing A Self Marketing Strategy

“If you don’t know where you’re going, you may not get there”.  In today’s job market, companies are looking for a candidate with specific expertise and a clear sense of direction.  It is important to know what your unique abilities are and how you can contribute to the position and company that you are applying for.  Career assessments and coaching can help with this.  Once you know your objective(s), it is important to map out a  plan to market yourself and find those positions that you are interested in and skilled for effective performance. 

Resume Development and Cover Letters

Your resume needs to showcase your skill sets, strengths, and accomplishments.  Your resume should capture the attention of the potential employer so that you can have the opportunity for a job interview.  Cover letters are still very important when sending out your resume.  They need to be clear, concise and tailored to the specific job position that you are applying for.  Career coaching can assist you in developing these quality documents.

Networking Strategies, Skills and Resources

Research shows that most individuals find their next job position through networking.

Networking is building relationships that can be mutually beneficial to both sides. There are definitely dos and don’ts to effective networking and there are many resources that can be tapped into to develop and expand your network.  Career coaching services
provide education on networking and networking resources to use.

Interviewing and Presentation skills

We all know how important first impressions are and this goes for the first few minutes of an interview.  It is essential to be aware of and manage how you present yourself and interact with the interviewer.  In an interview you have a limited amount of time to persuade them that you are the right person for the job and a good match for their team and organization.  A personalized coaching plan can be developed and put into action to overcome your personal obstacles.
